the only thing that could change things here is if benson fired loomis and took away all player personnel and coaching staff decisions from payton.

that can work

if payton were relegated to just giving his views and input into what he wants, but in the end, its the GM who makes the decisions on what players to bring in and positions to draft, as well as when coordinators and coaches need to be fired and replaced, then the team could improve and have success.

if payton were relieved of all decisions related to the players as well as coaches we have, and was only to coach the team and call plays, I think we can be successful with him.

because lets face it, no team would be silly enough to take on his huge guaranteed contract, they might agree to those numbers but not the guaranteed part.

this experiment of payton having allen learning on the job and hoping that "maybe" "at some point" "figuring it out" just aint happening for us

For those who think Payton has phoned it in due to his look on the sideline, I offer a different hypothesis...he knows his team sucks and he is doing what he can with what he has.

I am not an NFL coach, but I have coached several kids teams in various sports. I can tell you a coach knows early on when their team just sucks. But, you have to get them ready to play, knowing that you have little hope of winning.

That is the face I see on Sean Payton. My wife accused me of having the same face during my daughter's volleyball games...just numbly staring, knowing their ain't shite you can do because your team just doesn't have the talent.
